That's exactly the reason why databases of people including their religious opinions are forbidden under EU Law. And it has been that way in France and in Germany since 1978.

I lived in Germany. They asked my religion and made me pay religion tax (Kirchensteuer). So they already have such a database.

They don't ask for your religion. They ask if you are member in one of a few religious communities. You may say that this is nitpicking but it's really not. They don't care about beliefs but just perform a service for those communities that asked them to do it. That tax is best to be thought of a membership fee that happens to be collected by the state.

If a religious community does not want to participate in that scheme they can. Plenty don't use that service.
